About Us
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996better known as the "mother of all internet laws"is one of the best-known laws in the US, protecting users of the internet from being forced to hand over information if they choose to do so.
But it's also "one of my favorite laws in general, and especially about the internet, and I don't like laws a lot," Shoshana Weissmann, the director of digital media at R Street, tells host Kelli Pierce in a recent episode of the podcast Red Tape.
"I think a lot of them are badly crafted, but this one, ah," Pierce says of Section 230.
"I know you're obsessed with it and I'm really glad you feel that way because I have a surprise for you."
Weissmann says she loves Section 230 because "it empowers individuals to voice their opinions freely online without fear of litigation, a pivotal element in today's social media-driven world," per a press release.
She adds she doesn't like laws "a lot," but "I do love Section 230....
It's one of my favorite laws in general, and especially about the internet, and I don't like laws a lot."
